When importing sources cvs seems to generate an incorrect error message when it cannot chdir to a local directory to be imported.

At least this is how I read the sources in import.c, lines 1811 to 1818:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
if (CVS_CHDIR (dir) < 0)
{
ierrno = errno;
fperrmsg (logfp, 0, ierrno, "ERROR: cannot chdir to %s", repository);
error (0, ierrno, "ERROR: cannot chdir to %s", repository);
-------------------------------------------------------------------

It tries to change to the local directory "dir" but reports that it couldn't change to the repository directory "repository".

Is this by design? If yes, isn't this somewhat confusing?
